Accreditation of Foreign Journalists

The Procedure of Accreditation of Foreign Media Representatives with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Moldova.

The accreditation of foreign media representatives is based on the Decision of the Government of the Republic of Moldova No.39 of June 2, 1995, published in the Official Gazette No. 38-39 of July 14, 1995.

In order to visit the Republic of Moldova as a reporter and to obtain accreditation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the administration of the media institution (newspaper, agency) must send a request for accreditation (specifying the name, passport details, duration) with its signature, registration number and seal to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Moldova, by fax (+37322) 23-23-02, or by e-mail.

If you are a freelancer, you need to present a certificate from the national journalists association, confirmed by an Embassy or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of your country. Upon preliminary consideration of the request, the Embassy of the Republic of Moldova, indicated by the applicant, will be entitled to issue an entry visa to the Republic of Moldova.

Upon arrival in the Republic of Moldova, foreign journalists are asked to contact the Mass-media Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The accreditation procedure will be initiated by the applicant by presentation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of documents previously sent by fax, as well as of the press-card and passport, in reasonable time after arriving to the Republic of Moldova. The applicant will need to fill in the Form of Media Accreditation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and attach two passport-size photos.

The decision on the accreditation will be taken within one month and will be finalized by issuing an accreditation card.
